Spanish Couple Warned After Protest in Singapore

A Spanish couple, Dani Cuesta and Mireia Saez, were detained in Singapore after protesting against Peter Lim, the owner of their football club Valencia, by displaying a 'Lim go home' banner. Their passports were confiscated as they were investigated for participating in a public assembly without a permit, which is illegal under Singapore's strict laws. On October 15, police issued them a 'stern warning' and confirmed they have since left the country. The couple, who were on their honeymoon, received support from the Spanish Embassy during their ordeal. Cuesta had shared images of the protest on social media, which raised concerns about public order. Valencia fans have consistently protested against Lim, who has faced criticism for failing to improve the club's performance since acquiring it in 2014.
